BABY LED WEANING RECIPES

Ladies a major part of the book is feeding. Many of us have chosen to wait until six months , we did and we are at ten months. Whatever you choose is up to you however, I thought hey I sure need some recipes for Penelope (my picky baby). Moms who are only doing pur\351ed foods can also benefit from BLW recipes for dips etc. We started out half BLW half pur\351ed foods and now we are completely BLW. I would love some ideas for recipes and I have a few of my own to share ! Baby led weaning full on has been a blast though at first she ate a lot less than when she was on pur\351ed foods... That or just the portions have changed and her intake. Post away :) !!

For starters today I had amazing success making mini pea and pesto frittatas all organic ingredients.

2 cups peas frozen or not frozen

6 eggs

Half cup cream (I used milk)

1 cup grated cheese

2 tbs pesto

2 tbs basil fine chopped

Grease muffin pan (we used coconut oil) fill each muffin cup with about a 1/2 inch peas give or take to your preference. Mix together the remaining ingredients, pour over the pea lined muffin cups.

Bake for 10 mins. I actually did 15 at 375.

I'm Canadian so forgive any measuring or baking differences lol :D

Also I made mashed banana and blueberry pancakes with organic pre made pancake mix (lazy mom). Cut them into strips and let her go to town.

Today , later I will make a Mac and cheese bake. Basically cook noodles (of any choose but straight) we went whole grain organic noodles again , shred cheese, add in zucchini bits , onion finely chopped , basil or Italian seasoning a pinch, mix those ingredients and add in whatever other vegetables finely chopped that you desire, place over the noodles and bake. She can then pick pieces out and chew them .

I noticed since really taking more initiate with BLW that she does better if peppers and veggies are first steamed then baked . Makes a big difference. Thanks RNM for the nice motivation the other day to keep on and try new spreads !!! She's been doing amazing and I'm so excited ! Today she had cream cheese and toast and LOVED IT :)
